RIAL 19" Daytona Race wheels - opinions??

What do you guys think of these on a triple black C2 Cab with
full Aerokit???

I need wheels really soon...if any of you guys have some you want to part with (with decent tires and under $2500), please PM me!

Let's hear some comments on these wheels...I know they are a bit heavy (same as stock), general comments?

The set I am looking at can be bought brand new for 1900.

The wheels are 19"x8.5" Offset 50 (Front) & 19"x11" Offset 45 (Rear), with 5x130 bolt pattern. Tires are Sumitomo HTRZIII: 235/35/19 (Front) & 275/30/19 (Rear)

pics?

Also, the 275 in the rear is going to be a bit small for an 11" rim. I think you would want atleast a 295 so the rim doesn't stick out further than the tire.

May as well stop looking.

BUZZKILL:

The wheels were discontinued about 6 months ago. I have several rears left, but no fronts.

So, unless you know someone selling a set of fronts used you are out of luck. Sorry.

Give me a call if you like something else.

Doesn't a 295 also get a little tall for a 996? It is 3% taller than a 265/35/18.

Wrong offset for the rears...may stick out past the fenders....11" wheels on a narrow body 996 you need a 63 offset, 45 is WAY too wide....I had a 19x11 63 offset on mine...and it was CLOSE....maybe 5mm to spare...20? Nope....and a 275 tire is a little small on a 11" rim...do it right....get the right offsets.

Rial makes a decent quality product. I've had some of their older stuff and it was fine. If they have a clear coat on them, just be careful with what you use to clean them. Their clear coat seems to be more sensitive than other brands I've used.

Are those the daytona race 19"? If they are, I think I just changed my mind.

Newport is correct- the 45 rear offset on 19x11 will push the rim outward by 35mm, will not fit NB.
63 offset will push out by +17mm and inward by 9mm, will fit but very close. I have 18mm spacers on my rear wheels and could go 2 more mm without rubbing.
